My Dad forwarded me this recipe from a lady he works with, I think it was a hint to make them. LOL They are awesome!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/16 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup crisco
1 egg yolk
2 1/2 cups flour
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
sugar
Directions:
1. Cream together butter, shortening & cream cheese.
2. Add sugar, salt, vanilla and egg yolk, mix well.
3. Gradually blend in flour and mix well.
4. Use 1 teaspoonful of dough and make into a rounded ball then place on greased cookie sheet (or use parchment paper - works a lot better!).
5. Bake for about 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
6. Remove from oven.
7. Grease the bottom of a glass with butter and then dip into sugar - use this to flatten out cookies while they are still hot and leave sugar coating on top.
